5 Reasons why Roman Reigns is right in allegedly pulling out of WrestleMania 36

#4 Indirectly protects Goldberg

Goldberg might remain the champion longer than we thought...

Roman Reigns pulling out of his title match against Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 has opened the door for a lot of speculations. Some believe the Universal Championship will still be defended at the PPV and the ‘Big Dog’ might be replaced at the show. However, that is not the only way in which the creative can go ahead with this particular feud.

It is quite possible that WWE won’t have Goldberg defending his title at the ‘Showcase of the Immortals’ this year to avoid risking his safety as well. Contrary to popular belief, he is one of the most important people on the roster right now and the company can’t afford him being affected by coronavirus – not that they should differentiate in such matters.

Reigns refusing to compete at WrestleMania 36 will also allow Goldberg to stay at home as well, without making the Champion seem like he is backing down from the challenge. The two might then pursue their feud after things get back to normal. Ideally, it should after Covid-19 has been successfully dealt with.

Even if WWE decides to replace Reigns in the match, Goldberg is still likely to defend his title against some other SmackDown Superstar such as Braun Strowman or Jeff Hardy. A successful title defense will only glorify his title reign before Goldberg finally loses his gold to Reigns.
